14 Cited Over Graffiti at 300 Properties
Fourteen youths--allegedly members of four tagging crews--have been issued criminal citations for allegedly vandalizing more than 300 properties throughout the city during the last 18 months, sheriff’s officials said Wednesday.
Seven men and seven boys, age 14 to 21, were identified during a six-month investigation into graffiti that was spray-painted, marked with ink pens and etched at the locations.
The vandalized sites included schools, parks, a library, a shopping center, a golf course, a racquet club and several stores.
